This show is too boring for hate watching.

There is still way too much downstairs foolishness happening for my taste. Who cares about battling butlers.

Christine Baranski’s scenery chewing in that last scene with the maid was insane. “leave me at ONCE!”

Also why is the maid whispering in her ear at the end when they were the only two people in the room? So stupid.

I will keep hate wacthing though. It’s like a 4th grader wrote it.

I want to see if Gladys is going the way of Consuelo Vanderbilt. I wonder too if Peggy is going to become Ida B. Wells copy. There isn't much creativity in this show except for the costumes. How boring is Marian?

+1

I like the show but I would love a Peggy Scott spin off! More Audra McDonald, always.

I think they might be using Nathan Lane to fill the Maggie Smith type roll from Downton. Christine Baranski can't seem to pull it off. She just comes across as mean. So they will leave the camp to Lane.

Her one liners just don't work. It is so cringey. It has become as annoying as the Sex in the City remake. The most recent episode was soo bad.

Why does Gladys have stringy terrible hair when her mom’s is always perfectly coiffed?!

It makes her look like a fundamentalist polygamist sister wife.

She’s 27 years old in real life. They did a great job of hiding that.

I thought it was because she doesn’t have a ladies maid.

There was a scene in this last episode where whatsername PA girl says something stupid to Peggy and I swear all the actors did a double take like wow, this is dumb.

It’s pretty blah but the costumes and sets are interesting. Julian Fellows is a good writer but he doesn’t understand Americans. He just doesn’t have the right touch. Also the AS character seems inserted for PC. Nothing about that character really feels authentic. It’s just a soap opera.

I couldn't read much of it beyond some vague justification for making up history to suit modern ideologies. Do they have her going to balls and dances in the show? Or is it because of the rush to be woke, they throw in a token black character while ignoring historically more relevat social tensions and very real discriminations against, say, Jews or ethnic immigrants in late 19th century New York?

THIS. The real tensions of the times were other than black women. It doesn’t feel accurate in any way.
